The taste is very good, if not delicious, for the dishes I've tried such as beef noodle soup, Quang noodles, chicken rice, and banh beo. The employees are also very friendly, attentive service, and deserve a raise ?

We ordered two bowls of bun bo here. Everything was fine until the food came out. My wife ended up chewing on a rubber band. We showed it to one of the waiters and he hurriedly took it from us with a short reply of not knowing. I brought it up to the cashier girl and she had the audacity to tell us we couldn't tell the difference between bắp chửi and a rubber band.... Instead of just apologizing, She even said curtly, I don't want to argue with you.....I've never been so frustrated over the service before. This is the last time we will ever eat here..... first and last!!! Unacceptable customer service!!!! This is Vietnamese hospitality at its finest....owners, check your cameras and watch me play with the rubber band for awhile before it was taken away by one of your own staff.....

Been to this spot a few times now. Like it better than the OG spot because it's bigger and service overall is better. Definitely get the Banh Bro Chen as it's great for sharing. The Bun Bo Hue is pretty good here. I enjoyed it. It's not the best but overall gets the job done. Now the Mi Quang on the other hand was something that didn't hit with me at all. Maybe I wasn't feeling it that day but I wouldn't get it again. Overall food was great and service was fast and there is plenty of tables and seats!!! I'll be back for more Banh Beo Chen!!!

Great service. The Bun Bo Hue is not the best I've had though I find it satisfying. I find the BBH to be spicy more than flavorful. It needs a little more fermented shrimp paste imo. Also got the 3 kinds appetizer with Banh Beo, Banh Nam, and Banh Bot Loc. The Banh Beo was a bit on the too soft side for me but still tasty. The Banh Nam was also too mushy. The Banh Bot Loc was yummy though.

Nice big spacious restaurant which is not common for Vietnamese restaurants. The tables and chairs are large and spacious good for groups. I came here because my typical bun Bo hue restaurant was closed for the day and I was desperately craving it. I got the individual banh beos and bun Bo hue. Their bun Bo hue was steaming hot which I like I even burned my tongue but it wasn't flavorful enough and it was too oily. Also the portion was very small the bowl looks deep but there's barely any food in it. Their banh beo was also just okay and not flavorful it was too shrimpy for me and I didn't like their fish sauce. Even though the restaurant was pretty empty it was a little difficult to flag down a worker to take our order and when we needed help ordering to go.

The combination plate was good, I got to try different Vietnamese dishes. The jackfruit noodles was unique with the fish sauce, Not for me.
Not sure if I want to go back!I have been to this place once for a dinner with my friends. We were so excited to order Bun Rieu and Bun Bua He and a few mini pancakes (I forgot the name). Our expectations were high for this place because this place is in Westminister and it's like one of the Vietnamese town in OC. The noodle soups we ordered were so blend. We wish the soups were more flavorful. The pancake was good, however, we didn't like much of their fish sauce because it was also a bit blend compared to other Vietnamese places I have been to. The place looks clean but I am not sure I will ever go back. PS. Most servers there didnt speak English so it was hard for us to order our food. They started taking to us in Vietnamese but none of us knew Vietnamese.

Friend recommended this place to me as their favorite bun bo hue spot so I had to try it. I originally tried their other location and it really hit the spot! The only reason why I didn't go there more was because the other location's parking lot was a nightmare to find parking for dinner.So I was SO excited to find out there was a second location in the Albertson lot. This location so convenient and also just as good as the original. The flavor of the soup is always consistent, it's definitely on the top of my list for bun bo hue restaurants in the area.The service is super fast, their menu is pretty straight forward so you don't really have to look too long to know what you want. And the food comes out quick! So it's been a really great lunch spot near by for me as well.

Same same. This is the new(er) and bigger location to the OG Ngu Binh.I randomly came on a Monday and it was cracking at lunchtime. Luckily for us, there was no wait.My mom and I shared the following: -bún bò Huế ($14.95 for a large)-($13.95)I don't know what it is, but the BBH here slaps every. Single. Time. Sure, I've eaten a thousand bowls elsewhere, but this recent time reminded me how good the version at Ngu Binh is - it's aromatic, spicy, and has this depth of flavor with each slurp of broth. They don't skimp on the meat either - giant pork knuckle, sliced beef, cubed blood, chả lụa - it's all there. With so many Hue restaurants in the area, the BBH at Ngu Binh is one of the best.Don't sleep on their "dumpling" section. The bánh bèo chén is great for sharing. Normally I'm whatevs about the crispy pork skin that sits on top, but here, they're so crunchy and so generous in size. They added a little extra texture to every bite.Ngu Binh is still the queen of BBH.

Good Center Vietnam foods, friendly services, reasonable price, quick seated, professional waitors, accept both cash and cards, I asked for extra vegie for my noodle and they gave double with no charge very clean and spacious. I love the chill music there. Some places put too loud music that hard to hear and give me headache but this one is very calm. Enough space for big group. Foods arw fresh and delivered fast. My noodle bowl was still warm after I finished eating.
I went there yesterday with my children. The Bún bò Huế was not as good as Ngự Bình 1 because the beef were thin & very chewy. I ordered less spicy but it was very spicy. I couldn’t finish it & brought it home & cooked the beef for 20 minutes but still was tough to chew. The Bánh ít Ram need more shrimp, too much flour. Bánh bột lọc & banh beo were good.
